Thread Starter 
I've got an ancient 700 watt Rocketfish thats been a champion however i believe its dying.. my first thought was the Hard drive was failing.

I had multiple freezes and weird loud sounds from the speakers, downloaded HD Tune. Said it was detecting motor failure.. so i replaced taht drive with a SSD and still having the same issue..

No overclock, stock settings.. this old PSU is the only piece of recycled equipment so im assuming its the problem.. any thoughts?
